Dear Mr. Carlson and Ms. Fleck:
I want to thank you for mentioning me in your column "Scam Alert" in the January 2003 issue of the AARP Bulletin, page 18. Obviously my message of Natural Healing is having a major impact throughout the country if an organization the size of AARP, 30 million members, feels the need to attack me.
Yes, I am an orthodox medical doctor who was for 15 years on the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, considered to be one of the three top medical schools in the country. As Associate Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, I trained thousands of doctors.
In addition, as Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital, one of the premier trauma hospitals in the country, I ran the equivalent of a M.A.S.H. unit for many years. For the past 20-25 years, I have been invited to lecture to doctors at numerous University medical schools including Vanderbilt, Baylor, Cincinnati, Tufts, South Carolina, Iowa, USC, Minnesota and countless medical societies throughout the U.S. including the Massachusetts Medical Society, as well as other medical organizations around the world, including the Royal Society of Medicine in London.
How surprised they will be to find out that the very doctor, Dr. Lorraine Day, these highly distinguished medical groups invited as a guest speaker, you, the editors of AARP, have designated as a quack.
How could I, overnight, go from a highly respected surgeon at the top of my field, to an AARP-designated quack?
What was my "crime?"
Answer: I had the audacity to successfully reverse my severe, life-threatening cancer WITHOUT DRUGS! According to your business partners, the pharmaceutical companies, this is the GREATEST crime of all!
Yes, I did reverse my life-threatening, end-stage cancer by totally natural methods. (You can see the pictures of the huge tumor I had, as well as my biopsy reports at my web site www.drday.com)
Yes, I did refuse chemotherapy, radiation and mutilating surgery because, as a medical doctor with years of experience, I saw thousands of cancer patients die, NOT from their cancer, but from the painful, maiming, destructive "treatments" we doctors give them.
And Yes, I am TOTALLY WELL and Cancer-FREE a full 10 years after my tumor first appeared, and EVERYTHING I used to get well is totally free, except for food, and almost everyone has to buy that anyway.
But I understand your need to attack me and my reputation. Certainly you don't want your membership to learn how to get well from Cancer, Heart Disease, Parkinson's Lupus, Arthritis, Diabetes and many, many other diseases by natural methods, without drugs of any kind. After all, one of the main functions of AARP, according to your own advertising, is to sell drug medications to your members.
Let's see, with 30 million members (all over 55) and each one spending maybe $100.00 per month with AARP for their medication (a conservative estimate), that amounts to $3 BILLION in drug sales per month. If your organization gets a cut of just 10% of that total, that¹s $300 MILLION per month for you! If your cut is only 1%, that's still $30 MILLION per month you are receiving, a minimum of $360 MILLION per year!
When you have a multi-million dollar arrangement with the drug companies as you do, my message of inexpensive natural methods of healing, with NO adverse side effects, could really cut into a truly phenomenal income such as you are receiving. It's easy to see why you would choose to attack me.
One more thing, in your column you referred to natural healing as quackery, yet on the back page of your very same AARP Bulletin, January 2003, you promote a "Yearbook" with an advertising headline stating "Ordinary Ailments, Extraordinary Cures -- Health Breakthroughs and Remarkable Remedies." In that advertisement are listed SIX or SEVEN points of the TEN Step Natural Health Plan I used to reverse my end-stage cancer!
Why is it "quackery" when I promote it, but it's NOT "quackery" when YOU promote it? (see ad in AARP bulletin)
Even MORE interesting is the fact that you CHANGED the headline for the advertisement when it was published in your Bulletin. Here is the SAME ad found in another paper. The heading is very different. It includes the words:
"Remedies That Work Better Than Dangerous Drugs Or Risky Surgery"
Your AARP Bulletin obviously required that the ad be changed to eliminate these important words - to protect your enormous payoff from your drug business. You have deliberately withheld potentially life-saving information from your membership for your own monetary gain.
In the interest of fairness, I'm sure you will be more than happy to print this letter in a prominent spot in your up-coming February AARP Bulletin. I give you permission, but ONLY if it is printed in its entirety. You do not have my permission to cut and paste portions to suit your own agenda.
Just in case there's an outside chance you are NOT interested in fairness, I will post this letter on my own web site at www.drday.com as well as other web sites, as the public does have the right to hear both sides.
Again, thank you for mentioning me. I could never afford to buy publicity like this to an organization the size of AARP, and here you have provided it for me free of charge. You have probably forgotten, or at least have not considered the fact that there are millions of intelligent and discerning members in your organization who will be perceptive enough to search me out, to find out how they too can get well without the torturing pain, surgical disfigurement, and bankrupting expense of orthodox methods.
Thanks for letting them know I'm here! They may not have found me otherwise.
Good job Lorraine. And fear not, there are plenty of us out here that don't succumb to the rhetoric of the masses of idiots and mindless lemmings that follow them. Lee Hicks
That letter was incredible, and I thank you on behalf of myself and many others for writing it. I hope it made them as mad as their attack on you did me. I am an R.N. who no longer plays the allopathic chemical game, and now am in the process of learning what I should have been taught in nursing school. I now provide people with information on ways to stay healthy, and non-allopathic options for giving the body what it needs to heal itself should the best efforts at prevention not be successful. I am not near as well off financially, but am happier and sleep like a baby knowing I have done nothing to harm anyone! I never KNOWINGLY did that before, but, unfortunately, I'm quite sure I did do it tho' inadvertently I assure you.
I have 3-4 of your tapes and share them with anyone who asks, and many who don't, but will watch them usually for one of two reasons. 1) They respect my opinion, 2) It's much easier than listening to me nag them until they do. I don't care which reason they choose--just as long as it gets them to watch!!!
They are always glad afterward, and THAT is the important part.
You have long been a type of hero, but you really outdid yourself here! Thank you again.
Wonderful letter! I was healed of cancer using oxygen treatments as can be reviewed on www.donsbach.com. My testamony is also printed there for all to see. VCJ
Thank you Lapis for posting this excellent letter! Dr. Day has one of the most inspiring stories in all of natural healing. Her faith, courage and commitment are evident on her extraordinary videos.
It would be wonderful to hear from others who have recovered from serious illness using Dr. Day’s health plan. To those following Dr. Day’s program, please share your stories with Curezone.
If there is enough interest, perhaps a Dr. Day forum can be started at Curezone.
I had no idea that an organization like the AARP would do something like this. It sounds like they are in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry. Disgraceful.
I'm glad you are healthy and speaking out, Dr. Day. You are an inspiration!
Dear Lorraine, Thank-you for what you are offering to this world!It can be disheartening, and frustrating to say the least when going up a brick wall or worse yet being retaliated against,in the name of greed.
I do not know if this is a consolation but the beauty of integrity is that it can not be bought.
The beauty of true inner wealth and power can not be attained through outward means of coercion.
A friend of mine taught in Japan. There she said that many exemplified a beautiful quality.The quality of dignity. She said that unlike respect which can be taken away or given, dignity, comes from within.
I pray that you may be able to live honorably....May you hold great ones that have been castrated as your example....Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, Jesus Christ.....May you not be engulfed with bitterness but filled with the light of humble rightousness. Many blessings to you, Penelope
I think that the courage Dr Day has demonstrated, in not only beating her cancer but also in challenging the views of others, is to be commended.
It is interesting that the experiences of Dr. Day are similar to that of other, truly dedicated individuals, who genuinely want to improve conditions for the human race (e.g. Allen Carr: stop smoking program). I too have encountered similar resistance in the course of my research work in the alcohol area, so can relate first hand to her experiences.
Unfortunately, the profits of governments and corporations, too often is placed before the well being of individuals. The health system has evolved into nothing more than a disease maintenance system and few monies are directed towards projects aimed at prevention.
Governments pump billions of dollars into projects aimed at looking for the magic 'pill' which will counteract the poisons big business has put into our food, water and air supply. Furthermore, health practitioners promote the intake of toxic substances (e.g. fluoride and alcohol), before the effects of these substances has been investigated from a holistic perspective. Unfortunately, now the majority of research funding comes from corporations with an invested interest in the results.
However, the good thing is that for every individual who is dedicated to amassing financial profit and/or protecting their 'self-interest', there is also a person who for little financial reward tirelessly works for the good of mankind.
I wish Dr Day every success in her quest and encourage her to keep strong in her faith.
